Hardscapes Inc is proud to be a part of the Calbridge Luxury team in the 2016 Foothills Lottery.
Hardscapes installed a gorgeous reflector floor in the bar and lake room as well as a very durable flake broadcast floor in the garage!

The process begins with surface prep. It’s always the key to a successful floor installation. This old floor has been used for many different businesses over the years. We started with a deep grind using a 32” machine that weighs more than 1500lbs. The combination of weight and the correct diamond tooling insures a nice deep grind to fully remove all surface contaminants.
We also ran a shotblaster over the rougher areas to insure a clean floor down in any divots and depressions.
Once a good clean floor is achieved, we skim the floor out with a floor patching material to fill and smooth the depressions and other deficiencies prior to coating. Once that has dried, a light grind over the patch and we are ready to begin the coating process.
Our base coat of epoxy goes down nice and even with a squeegee and back roll before we broadcast the flake. This client chose a grey and white mix with 7% silver micah for a unique look that will have a gorgeous finish.
Once the base coat has cured, we remove the excess flake, scrape it down and sand it before the applying the two topcoats of polyaspartic.
The final product is a gorgeous showroom finish that is extremely chemical and abrasion resistant. This floor will be home to an extensive car collection.

A concrete driveway can become a thing of beauty when colour is added to the mix or dusted on during the process. Then it can be stamped with patterns that can resemble flagstone, pavers, stones or brick.
Stamped concrete can range from around $8 and go over $18 depending on complexity and materials.
If you’re just looking to colour your concrete driveway you can match up almost any colour to compliment your home or surrounding outdoor décor.
Concrete engraving can be done on existing driveways. At a considerably lesser price point, usually $3 to $6, it’s a great way to spruce up an existing drive.
Staining concrete is really becoming the way to create beautiful driveways. Chemical stains are used for both interior and exterior so your driveway look can carry straight through to your garage floor.

No matter how much care you take with your concrete driveway it will eventually start to wear.
If your home was built in the last fifty years your driveway, and probably your walkway, are built with concrete. These outdoor features of your home need to be made of materials that are durable and long lasting, and concrete fits the bill.
What do you do when signs of aging start to appear? Whether it’s pitting due to oil or other petroleum products leaking from vehicles onto the surface, or from shifting soil that leaves cracks in the cement where grass and weeds can grow, your driveway can become an ugly welcome home.
If your driveway is looking like it may need to be jack-hammered out and re-poured that can be a big expense.
Here’s the good news, don’t just put a bandage on it, there is another solution. Concrete resurfacing is a way to bring those aging concrete walks and drives back to life.
